please look at the balance sheet here:

http://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/Meeting-Financials-2010-77.pdf

and note both the hotel commission, a credit, and the zero charge 
associated with meeting rooms.

It's not clear to me that this can be made more transparent, but if you'd 
like to try I'm sure that someone would be happy to nominate you for an 
open iaoc position when available.

Thanks for the non-answer.  

It seems that your response was even less responsive than I had thought:
according to the meeting Web site, the meeting is actually to be held
at the Quebec City Convention Center.  This makes it rather unsurprising
that there is a zero charge associated with meeting rooms at the Hilton
but begs the question: what, exactly, _is_ being subsidized by the extra
~$70/night?

I'll see the financials the same as everyone else, when they are published... 
it wouldn't shock me if they were similar to another canadian city owned  
meeting venue which we  visited in 2006 which of course you can see here:

http://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/IETF66_Montreal_Financial_Statement.pdf

inclusive of the unbudgeted $2,475 in meeting room expenses.

City owned conference facilties are part and parcel of the fee structure of the 
associated businesses.
